I had 500 meters of pure zen in the pool this morning. I'd been having a totally normal workout, nothing special, and then something just .... changed....
Glide.....glide......glide.....wow, look at me....glide....glide....glide....
Why isn't is always that easy??

It's a beautiful thing when it happens! And once it happens it's likely to happen again!

Hand to hand combat at the pool this morning. Place was mobbed. All that chop made for good race chaos simulation.

My pool was extra quiet today and I had a lane all to myself. Nice!

Lucky you. We were 3 in my lane, including a gal who decided to do a very sloooooow breaststroke in our "medium"-marked lane. She let me pass whenever I caught up to her though, so it all worked out. Originally Posted by MDHillSlug

I navigated through ice bergs in the road to get to the pool -- finally reopened this morning, albeit 3.5 hours later than usual.
It was pretty quiet, too. I had to split a lane with an old guy who was a "slap" swimmer wearing fins. He left after 30 minutes, and I had the lane to myself for the rest of my swim. Put in 90 minutes...
It was so nice to be back in the water. The pool has been closed since Saturday due to the snow and I was missing my morning swim.

1200 meters tonight but the pool will be closed Thursday, Friday AND Saturday for the holiday
I think I'll swim again tomorrow since it will be Monday again before I can get back in the water.

That's a bummer. Go for a longer swim, since you'll be missing a few days. It was tough missing my long swim this past Saturday and my Monday swim due to the inclement weather pool closure. Originally Posted by Bike Chick

Fortunately, "my" pool is closed Xmas and New Year's Days but is open the rest of the holiday (w/extended hours, since the kids aren't in school!).
Susan, I feel your pain about rebels swimming in the wrong lanes! My problem is opposite: speedsters with tons of equipment get in the slow lane with me. If a third person doesn't want to join us, it's not a big deal. However, I am pretty outspoken about asking a speedster to please switch lanes if someone slow wants to circle swim w/us.Last edited by Selkie; 12-23-2009 at 12:25 AM.
